Editing John Zerzan (section)

=== Radio show ===

One method Zerzan uses to promote his Anarcho-primitivist ideas is with his radio show ''AnarchyRadio'' on [[KWVA]] at 88.1 FM in [[Eugene, Oregon]] and live-streamed worldwide by the station's website with archive recordings of full shows available on John Zerzan's own website.<ref name="auto6">{{cite web | url=https://www.johnzerzan.net/radio/ | title=John Zerzan: Anti-civilization theorist, writer and speaker }}</ref> Zerzan's website states that he started the show in 2000 although the recorded archive of shows on the site only goes back to 2006.<ref name="auto6"/><ref name="auto3">{{cite web | url=https://www.johnzerzan.net/radio/archive.html | title=John Zerzan: Anti-civilization theorist, writer and speaker }}</ref> Zerzan's show airs live on Tuesdays on KWVA at 7pm [[Pacific Time Zone|PST]] and lasts an hour.<ref name="auto6"/><ref name="auto3"/> Besides Zerzan himself, ''AnarchyRadio'' occasionally has a co-host with Zerzan and also fills in for Zerzan entirely when he is on speaking tours.<ref name="auto6"/><ref name="auto3"/> ''AnarchyRadio'' is a [[call-in show]] and listeners can phone KWVA during the show and talk to the host(s) live.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.johnzerzan.net/radio | title=John Zerzan: Anti-civilization theorist, writer and speaker }}</ref><ref name="auto3"/> Until 2024, ''AnarchyRadio'' aired every Tuesday. Since 2024, ''AnarchyRadio'' now only airs on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month. This new scheduling was introduced unofficially in February with an announcement at the end of the February 27 airing and later became official when Zerzan announced it at the start of the March 26 airing, claiming it was "more manageable" for him at his age of 80 years.<ref name="auto6"/>

In 2014, ''AnarchyRadio'' gained unwanted media attention when it was discovered by the [[New York Daily News]] that Adam Lanza (who was the shooter in the [[Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting]] in 2012) once called the show in December 2011 and spoke to Zerzan live on air.<ref name="auto5">{{Cite web|url=https://www.nydailynews.com/2014/01/16/adam-lanza-calls-in-radio-station-a-year-before-sandy-hook-shooting-and-gives-bizarre-interview-listen-to-the-tape/|title=Adam Lanza calls in radio station a year before Sandy Hook shooting and gives bizarre interview — LISTEN TO THE TAPE|first1=Corky|last1=Siemaszko|first2=Joe|last2=Kemp|first3=Matthew|last3=Lysiak|website=[[New York Daily News]] |date=January 16, 2014}}</ref><ref name="auto4">{{cite web | url=https://nbc16.com/news/local/radio-host-on-killers-call-its-tough-to-wrap-your-mind-around | title=Radio host on killer's call: 'It's tough to wrap your mind around' | date=January 16, 2014 }}</ref><ref name="auto8">{{cite web | url=https://news.sky.com/story/adam-lanza-made-weird-call-to-radio-show-10421197 | title=Adam Lanza Made Weird Call to Radio Show }}</ref><ref name="auto1">www.archive.org/details/AnarchyRadio12-20-2011</ref> Lanza called during the December 20 2011 show.<ref name="auto">{{Cite web|url=https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/2014/01/adam_lanza_apparently_phoned_o.html|title=Sandy Hook killer Adam Lanza apparently phoned Oregon anarchist radio show a year before massacre|first=Kimberly A.
